AtD (37) p. 1041: toilets, money, shit, easy sex, the Hollywoodization of History?

[Ian Livingston]

Shadow factories: great phrase for a motion picture production company, yes?
What Jung's 'shadow' concept has come to in Hollywood America?

Yes, this is a perfect phrase for Hollywood, but I'd be more inclined to
think of Plato here than Jung.  These are shadows cast up against the wall
of the cave, whereas the Jungian shadow has more to do with personality
traits sublimated through denial and rejection of the content.  There surely
are links, though.  The 'scandalous' behavior of actors on and off screen
attracts ordinary folk most unreasonably.  This could indeed be symptomatic
of shadow elements:  we are fascinated by that in others which we find most
intolerable in ourselves.
